Barletta: America Must Work Aggressively to Combat Terror

WASHINGTON – Congressman Lou Barletta (PA-11), a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, released the following statement regarding the attempted terror attack in New York City this morning:

“I am very thankful innocent Americans avoided a close call in New York City this morning. New York’s amazing first responders again quickly arrived at the scene to address a potential catastrophe – luckily a major attack was avoided. As a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, this again affirms the cold reality that radical Islamic terror is a threat to all Americans across the United States. The Trump Administration has made exceptional strides to secure the border and aggressively combat terrorism. As we gather more information about the attacker, I will continue to push Congress to provide all the resources the administration needs to combat this evil in order to preserve the peace and well-being of our great nation.”
